okay, I'm not a security guru or anything. i'm just an end user, so sorry if i'm posting to the wrong area, but i'm hoping you guys can help.

the state of nebraska made me register on their website neworks.nebraska.gov inorder to get my unemployment, but the things makes me nervous. i have to provide all my personal info and work history and soc # and everything a id thief would love, and the the scares me! i mean i'm on it and i'm thinking it isn't the best site and not even close to what i would expect from a bank or cc company!

am i crazy? is this site as bad as it looks? please tell me i'm being paranoid.

Seems fine. The IP belongs to the state, they have a current SSL certificate, and they are running IIS 7.5. As long as you were in the SSL session (and it was to their server) your information should have been okay in transit. What they do with it on their end, who knows.

Site looks fine, but its ok to be concerned since it is your data. Like BillV mentioned, what they do with it after is what you might be more concerned with. You can always call and ask them how they secure your data in their systems because you are a concerned tax payer and all

As long as they're storing it right, that the transit of data is in order (which it should be according to the other comments), and if the actual website is secure, then you have nothing to worry about

I wouldn't worry about your data getting stolen while your transmuting from your machine to their servers , but make sure your machine isn't infect by RATS , Keyloggers , Stealers , Botnets etc ... and I dont think they will make you submit your information online unless the application and backend database's are secure . I didn't actually visit the site . but if the application is secure you got nothing to worry about
